Video Interventions for Vaping
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The goal of this interventional study is to test whether short videos of electronic-cigarette (e-cigarette) counter-marketing lessons work to decrease people's intent to use and smoke e-cigarettes. Using short videos, the investigators hope to inform participants about the marketing strategies that e-cigarette companies use to try to get people to purchase and use e-cigarettes. The investigators hope to find that, after watching the short videos, people will be able to point out when e-cigarette companies are trying to sell their products, and hopefully they will have a lower interest in buying and using e-cigarettes. The investigators also hope participants will learn more about the addictiveness and harmfulness of using e-cigarettes by watching the short videos.
